I have also had three of the Facet square and newer plastic ones fail on my
Lotus Sevens. I will not use one again. They are garbage.
I am now using an original old Bendix blue top on my Series two (positive
ground) and a VW type tube Carter on my neg ground series one. Both work fine
and I can trust them.
Facet has lost my business and i have heard many others who have had issues
with them
